Thanks
Thanks for the thumbs up gentleman....There are quite a few European athletic sports tins out there some more to my taste than others. The English Huntley Palmer tins, which were all biscuit tins...are sort of the king of the European tins...they made some real beauties...Off the top my head I can't recall any other Huntley Palmer athletic tins...other than a polo one that is quite something...but there are probably some I just can't recall or have never seen...
The first time I saw the track and bicycle one it had me....I'd never seen a tin with track runners...that one was pretty rough...and not cheap...So I figured I'd wait for a better one...this one came along in not too bad of shape and I got lucky....no one else bid...and it was in Cleveland...so I didn't have to pay that overseas shipping...    So then I got into the tin buying mode and the next day pulled the trigger on the one above....which I'd had in my watch list over a month....That one I got because it's so rare...I only know of one other possible example and that's not for sure....rough but tough....The more I researched motorized bicycles from the turn of the century the more hooked I got...next thing you know I'm hitting the buy button...  From what I gathered it's possible the one on my tin was a pace bike used to train bicycle track racers....It appears to be not only a tandum but a three wheeler...I think back then they were trying all kinds of stuff...It should be here pretty soon where I can examine it close up...coming from the Netherlands... I have zero room left in my tin cabinet so will be starting a new grouping of larger tins....I've had the mother of all woman's rowing tins c1910 for about 12 years that I got at a National from Glen Mechanick...that will be the center piece...All I need is time...Once I get the National story finished I'll have more of that...
